Alas, Edie Sedgwick and Carroll Mallow compare in many ways.
Carroll is Bronson Bodine's love interest in the Invisible Tower trilogy. Refracted through dazzling patterns of cultural revelation, she drives much of the plot (as well as the aspirations of the hero) in We Reign Secure, then she bewitchingly evokes a panorama of esoteric themes in The Sky-Shaped Sarcophagus.
Alas, poor Edie Sedgwick. There was no Bronson Bodine to rescue her!
It might be more apt to compare Edie to Jinx Misselbritches, the full-spectrum media project envisioned by Carroll Mallow, in which the fictional Jinx, a woman of the new New Age, would insinuate across geographic and social divides a "Bodineian revolution" in self-image and spirit.
